11 Hamman in New Gourna. luxor. IV Hyspalit chair, 2010 Modulation, order, grain. That’s what comes out when we first see the Hassan Fathy’s plan for New Gourna. It is a plain drawing that shows us all the horizontal planes of the city, of each building. We can feel the space, ruled by an unavoidable rhythm of light and shadow that defines a deeply horizontal space that protects us from the relentless sun of the desert.

5 reading pavilion. Pladur iberic prize. 2008
site plan. Viveros’s park
main elevation
interior: entrance hall
The main idea is to create a place, not a building, avoiding the distinction between a free and open public place like a park, and a building bounded and closed. The pavilion is part of the park, does not fall on him. It creates a space for open-ended nature, not outside, not inside, which organizes the entire project. It is an space characterized by light, a present light.
